Fund to collect online for angler-related causes

SIGNAL HILL, Calif. — The newly formed Ocean Access Protection Fund (OAPF) recently announced the launch of an online contribution program through OceanAccessProtectionFund.org.

The site will allow the fund, which is being spearheaded by United Anglers of Southern California, to collect online contributions for legal challenges against California’s Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) and future angler-related causes.

“Contributions to the OAPF will be used solely to support legal action against the MLPA and other policies that restrict recreational fishing access to California waters,” Steve Fukuto, UASC president, said in a release.
